1.

Ye Xin covered the big piece and soon fell asleep. I don't know if it's because Lin Xiao is guarding by her side, which makes her feel extremely at ease, but she unexpectedly slept soundly this night.

I don't know how long it took to fall asleep, Ye Xin suddenly felt that someone was patting her shoulder, and her vigilance as an assassin broke out instantly, and she opened her eyes as soon as possible, not with a trace of haze, but with a cold killing intent. As a cold light flashed through the forest, the Ruthless Blade had quietly unsheathed and rested on Lin Xiao's neck.

"Calm. Lin Xiao carefully stretched out a few fingers to remove the blade resting on his neck, and then gently pushed Ye Xin's shoulder, allowing her to lean against the tree. "You're holding a knife now, facing the sides, not at me anyway. ”

Ye Xin said coldly: "Who told you to keep a good vigil in the middle of the night and come over to move me." ”

"I thought I wanted to. Lin Xiao glared and said, "Didn't I call you when I found out that something was wrong!"

Ye Xin couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong?"

Lin Xiao didn't answer directly, but said, "You take a good look at these four weeks." ”

Ye Xin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, so he really raised his eyes and looked around. But I saw that the forest they were in had been filled with layers of fog at some point, which looked very much like the misty qi in the "Mirage Realm", but it could be pierced and distinguished, but if it was said that it was an ordinary fog, it had a chill that penetrated the bones, which made people shiver.

Ye Xin suddenly became nervous: "This is ...... What's going on?"

Lin Xiao said in a deep voice: "It began to spread about half an hour ago, at that time I thought it was just the evening fog in the forest, but it turned out that the fog spread abnormally, and I couldn't find out the reason with the 'Heaven and Earth Net', so I came to call you." ”

Ye Xin propped himself up, reached out and grabbed a handful of the mist around him, and said thoughtfully, "Could it be a corpse monster miasma again?"

"Definitely not. Lin Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "If you can't distinguish that kind of miasma, I won't mix it up in this cultivation realm." ”

"It can't be just a normal fog, right?"

"Of course not, this mist contains spiritual power, and my perception will not be wrong. Lin Xiao sighed and said, "I have a vague hunch - in fact, we have already stepped into the level set by the 'Youxuan Ji Clan' in Qishan, but we don't know it." ”

"A fog...... What kind of level is this?" Ye Xin questioned with a frown.

Lin Xiao shrugged: "Who knows?!"

The two men stood up, extinguished the bonfire, took their blades, and walked towards the hill in their established course. The fog here is different from the demon fog that breeds in the area of Wushan Xiyun Village, it is not as thick as the latter, it looks like it is just a thin layer, and it doesn't feel so substantial when you put it together with your hands, but it is even more ethereal.

But although the fog is thin, it is like layers of screens that intersect and merge together, forming a whole foggy barrier. At this time, the moon and stars in the sky were covered by large dark clouds, for Lin Xiao and Ye Xin, they could only see the people around them and the distance within ten steps, and the rest was the seemingly endless sea of fog covered in layers of mystery, making it unpredictable what would be hidden there.

"You say, could this fog come to hide the enemy's movements?" Lin Xiao said suddenly, "If someone attacks us in this fog, whether it is to meet the enemy or pursue, we will have a hard time." ”

Ye Xin nodded, and just wanted to say: "Is this possible......" A gloomy sneer suddenly came out of the mist, and then an urn-like voice said: "The kid taught by the first major sect of the Immortal Sect is different, and he is really knowledgeable!"

Lin Xiao was shocked, but he still recognized that the voice was coming from behind him, and the true qi was also raised, and he turned around and made a move "Crane Xiang Canopy", the red dust shot out from the scabbard, and the spirit sword pierced through the layers of mist with a scarlet red light, and after a while, only a loud sound of "Duo" was heard, but it was not like the sound of hitting the flesh, but it was like a sword stabbing directly into the tree.

Lin Xiao listened to this voice, only to feel that his heartbeat seemed to have missed a beat in an instant, and hurriedly ran towards the location where the sound came from. I didn't know how far I ran all the way through the layers of fog, but I saw a tree suddenly appear in front of him, Lin Xiao hurriedly stopped his steps to avoid hitting it, and then saw that Hongchen was inserted in the trunk of the tree, not moving at all.

Lin Xiao's face sank, and he secretly said that it was not good. The Red Dust Sword was sealed in the King's Landing Stone by the swordsmith earlier, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth for nearly a thousand years, and later it was discovered by the people of the "Shenyan Jiang Clan", and the stone and sword were sent to the burial tomb together, nourished by the breath of the tomb soil, and the sword spirit cultivated after thousands of years is self-conscious.

In other words, even if Lin Xiao's move missed, Hongchen would incarnate into a spirit body and chase after him with a sword, and he would definitely not stick to the trunk of the tree as motionless as he did now.

Shocked and suspicious, Lin Xiao pulled the red dust off the tree, transported his true qi and probed into it, sensing the spiritual power contained in the long sword. It's good that he doesn't feel it, as soon as the true qi enters, Lin Xiao's face suddenly turns white, and when he tries a few more times, he has an expression of disbelief.

Ye Xin looked at his face and felt a little worried, and hurriedly asked, "What is the situation?"

Lin Xiao looked back at her in a daze: "Hongchen...... It's gone!"

"Gone?!" Ye Xin's eyes widened in surprise, and he didn't recover for a long time, "It's gone...... What does that mean, is her spirit body sealed?"

Lin Xiao shook his head: "No, even if it is sealed and there is no spirit body, as long as I inject true qi, I can still sense her existence." But now this sword is just an empty shell, and there is not the slightest sign of spirit attachment - that is to say, long before I took out the sword, Hongchen has already turned into a spirit and doesn't know where to go!"

Ye Xin frowned and said, "How can this be? Aren't you keeping vigil? How can you not even know when your sword spirit left?!"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Just kidding, if she really hides her breath and doesn't want me to find out, how can I know her whereabouts." ”

"Then what now?" Ye Xin clenched the Ruthless Blade - Lin Xiao's Red Dust Sword was equivalent to an ordinary long sword at this time, and the Ruthless Blade had become the only spiritual weapon the two of them had now. She looked around vigilantly at the mist, which was gradually shrinking and enveloping her, and the blade of despair in the long knife state flashed with a dangerous chill.

Lin Xiao took a deep breath to calm down, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, Hongchen's spirit body can't be separated from the spirit sword body for too long or too far away, it shouldn't be able to get out of this mountain forest." She must have discovered something when she left quietly like this, and she will come back sooner or later, so we just need to take care of it for now. ”

At this time, the voice of the urn sounded again: "Take care of the present, should you take care of the present, you have already stepped into the 'Da Luo Light Smoke Array' that we have placed here, even if you want to go back the same way now, it is not so easy!"

Lin Xiao and Ye Xin moved quickly, and the two of them stood back to back with each blade, their eyes looking around to see if anything was unusual. "The dignified Qishan Youxuan Ji clan is such a nest rat who hides in the fog and secretly kills?!" Lin Xiao sneered slightly, and his voice was full of qi through internal strength, and there were echoes in the forest.

The fog in front of him suddenly separated, Lin Xiao had already expected it, raised his sword in his right hand, and blocked the long knife that was slashing from the opposite side.

The knife-wielding man was dressed in white, almost blending in with the white mist around him, including the mask he wore on his face, which was also the same haired hood that played the impermanence ghost on the stage, which was also white. In addition, Lin Xiao also saw a faint blue light flashing on the blade in his hand, obviously this knife was not as ordinary as it looked.

"How do you know where my knife came from?" said the man, who was wearing a mask, spoke in such a strange voice, as if he were muffled in a large urn.

Lin Xiao hooked his lips and sneered: "Do you think that you can do anything without knowing or noticing with these layers of fog alone?!" The implication is: "Your whereabouts are under my control." What he said was actually not an exaggeration, although the mist generated in the formation would be accompanied by spiritual power fluctuations, interfering with the perception of the "Heaven and Earth Net Technique", but the aura fluctuations generated by the cultivator's mobilization of the true qi in the body were somewhat different from the spiritual power fluctuations in the mist, as long as the distance was close enough, he could sense the existence of the other party.

This is why Lin Xiao can only wait until the knife hits his eyes before he makes a move, it is not that he is deliberately putting on a show, it is really a helpless move. After all, this method is extremely dangerous, but if the opponent's knife move is faster, he will be cut his hand if he does not keep it when he makes a move, and once he falls into a passive situation, it will be difficult to gain the upper hand in this fog.

The man in white didn't know the reason, and he was also suspicious of Lin Xiao's statement, so he simply judged that he was lucky. Immediately put away the knife and jumped backwards. Before he could completely retreat into the fog, Lin Xiao and Ye Xin suddenly swapped positions, Ye Xin turned around and faced the person, the ruthless blade rolled up a mist with a cold knife wind, and the cold light on the blade appeared, slashing at the person.

Ye Xin's speed is fast, and her knife is even faster. At the same time as the Ender Illusion Mind Technique was released, the Blade of Despair had turned into a thin, glittering straight line, and it instantly slashed down with an awe-inspiring cold light. But the movement of the man in white was not slow at all, and the treasure knife in his hand swung up neatly, and with a move of "inviting the moon with a glass of wine", it was worthy of the fast knife under the addition of the teleportation method.

Ye Xin's pupils shrank slightly because of the horror, the other party was not like Lin Xiao, who could detect the fluctuations in her aura when her true qi was running, and she also knew how fast her sword moves were in the state of the "Ender Illusion Mind Technique". But the figure of the man in white did not accelerate, but he still used only one knife to block his attack, and the speed of his actions can be imagined.

The next moment, Ye Xin only felt that her left foot was tight, and Lin Xiao had already grabbed her ankle from behind, and dragged her back with the strength of his wrist. Ye Xin suddenly couldn't control the balance of his body, and fell directly backwards into his arms under Lin Xiao's drag. At the same time, a sword light flashed in front of her, and the place where the sword wind swept was exactly where she was just now.

Ye Xin fell into Lin Xiao's arms, watching in horror as the knife swept past where she had just been, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. When she made a move, she got up and borrowed her strength, but after the move was caught, she had not completely fallen into her body, and there was no way to borrow her strength in mid-air, if it wasn't for Lin Xiao pulling her, the knife would inevitably slash her waist, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ye Xin stood up straight, subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and muttered, "Thank you!"

"Little things. Lin Xiao's gaze was still tightly locked in the mist, holding the Dinghongchen Sword in one hand and twisting the magic trick in the other, the "Heaven and Earth Net Technique" was fully opened, and he carefully felt the spiritual power fluctuations coming from the mist, but the result was nothing, the man in white had already escaped into the fog, and he didn't know which direction he was going.

Lin Xiao's tense shoulders suddenly relaxed, sighed, and said helplessly and regretfully: "The person ran away." ”

2.

Ye Xinhao's wrist turned lightly, holding the ruthless blade and gently holding the knife flower, watching a wisp of mist slide across the cold and shining blade with her movements, like a wisp of silky satin.

Lin Xiao turned around and happened to see this scene. If it weren't for the critical situation now, he really wanted to watch quietly like this-Ye Xin was extremely gentle when she did these movements, and the cold aura on her body was like a ruthless blade in her hand, and after the light veil-like mist slipped through, it seemed to temporarily wash away the solemn aura on her body, but it dyed her with a bit of tenderness.

But Lin Xiao had no intention of appreciating these now, he was only thinking about how to get out of this foggy formation. "Hey, don't get distracted, let's figure out how to get out of this hellish place. ”

Ye Xin kept moving, and said indifferently: "What do you think should be done?"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "I think these fogs are bred by that formation, if we find a way to break the formation, we should be able to get out." ”

Ye Xin asked indifferently: "What is this array?"

Lin Xiao looked at her there speechlessly, "Didn't you listen carefully to what the mysterious man said just now? ”

"What if you hear it. Ye Xin's tone was so flat that people couldn't hear any ups and downs, and Lin Xiao couldn't help but scold: "How big is the heart of a person who can still speak in this tone in this situation?!" only to hear Ye Xin continue, "I have indeed heard of this formation. But unfortunately I don't know how to crack it. So even if we knew, we would have to continue to wander around in this fog, which would do nothing but entertain the defenders. ”

Lin Xiao couldn't help but be surprised, he had seen Ye Xin's demeanor when he cracked the "Vena Nine Palaces" at the entrance of the secret room in the old mansion of the Innocent Family, it was really hard to imagine what the formation that could make her make such an evaluation would be.

"This 'Da Luo Light Smoke Array'...... What the hell is it?"

Ye Xin put away his knife with his backhand, turned to face Lin Xiao and said: "According to the records in the classics, this kind of formation has been lost for a long time, and the only 'Daluo Light Smoke Array' in this world that is well preserved and is still running inside the formation is located in the Qilin Cliff of Kunlun Mountain, right where your Ziyang Divine Sect is. ”

Lin Xiao was stunned and said: "Qilin Cliff is a forbidden place for the sect, only the head of the sect can enter, not even the elders can enter;

"Do you know the origin of the word 'Da Luo'?" Ye Xin suddenly asked.

Lin Xiao nodded when he heard this, he still knew this: "The so-called Daomen - the realm of Daluo, there is no true slaughter, but the Qi (qì) of Dafan, which encompasses the heavens. The song says: 'Above the Three Realms, there is a big Luo, there is no colorless root on it, and the clouds are moths'. The Tao is the tree of seven treasures born on the top of the clouds, one tree covers one day, and eight trees cover all directions, all-encompassing, and it is called Da Luo Tianye. ”

Ye Xin nodded in agreement with his statement, and continued: "The pattern of this 'Da Luo Light Smoke Array' imitates the momentum of this 'Luo Tian', and the entire formation has a total of eight array eyes, seven on the periphery, and one main formation eye in the center. The seven outer array eyes are arranged in the forward direction according to the number of seven uniques, and together drive the operation of the central main array eye. ”

Lin Xiao frowned and said, "In other words, if you want to destroy the main formation eye, you must first clean up the seven outer formation eyes?"

Ye Xin said: "What you said is right, and you must clean it up one by one according to the number of seven uniques, otherwise it will be ineffective to attack the other formations." What's even more tricky is that the seven outer formations will have a rotation change every half an hour, and if they are calculated according to the established direction, they will only fall deeper and deeper into the dead end; and for those who don't know the reason, it is even more blind, and the end result is that they can only be trapped and die in this formation. ”

When it comes to this, the meaning is obvious. Lin Xiao scratched his hair in annoyance, and said in a muffled voice, "So we can only wait here for death now?!"

"The same cannot be said. Ye Xin suddenly blinked her watery eyes a few times, surprisingly without a trace of chill, "We are just here to worship the mountain, and we are not provoking, the Youxuan family should not kill us." We only need to stay here for three or five days, and when we can't hold on, we tell the defenders, 'Bow down,' and they should let us go." ”

Lin Xiao said with a black line on his head: "Tell me yourself-are you a normal person's way?!" At the same time, he secretly said in his heart: "Okay, you Ye Xin, you have been with me for a long time, and now you have begun to learn to play tricks, and you are really good at it!"

Ye Xin said softly, and then said, "Actually, there is another way. The defenders want to gain insight into the situation inside this formation, and the only favorable terrain is the main formation eye in the center. We can first use this clue to catch the defender, and then force him to take us to the seven outer formations. ”

Lin Xiao glanced at her silently, and only said after a long time: "That defender's sword skills are exquisite, and his body skills are also extremely weird, even your 'Ender Illusion Mind Technique' can easily help him, are you sure that we can take him down if we pass over so rashly?"

Ye Xin said coldly: "The defender is the key in addition to the fortune of the formation, if the two of us can't even take a small defender together, then we don't have the face to talk about 'worshipping the mountain'!"

Lin Xiao asked again: "Even if we really take him, if others swear to die, what should we do?"

Ye Xin still had an indifferent expression, as if Lin Xiao's question was not a problem for her at all: "If he would rather die than give in, then we will fulfill him—kill him with one sword, and it will be over!"

"Fuck!" Lin Xiao couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Ye Xin looked at him indifferently: "For the enemy, you are still too soft-hearted after all. ”

"Eldest sister, are you not figuring out the situation yourself?!" Lin Xiao's voice suddenly raised an octave, "After all, we are here to beg someone to do something, and you are going to cut off someone else's family at every turn—do you want that clue to be cut off here?!"

"Then what do you say?" Ye Xin's eyes were filled with coldness.

Lin Xiao snorted, his shoulders suddenly drooped, and he whispered: "I don't know ...... either."

Ye Xin's face suddenly turned red, obviously wanting to scold Lin Xiao a few swear words, but he felt that the girl's foul language didn't seem to be very elegant, so he suffocated it again.

Lin Xiao looked at Ye Xin's complicated expression that he obviously wanted to scold but forcibly held back, his face didn't seem to move, and he was already smiling in his heart. The air around him seemed to be dyed with a layer of joy with the unstoppable smile in his heart......

Colors in the air...... Color?!

The expression on Lin Xiao's face suddenly stiffened.

He swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said, "Ye Xin......"

"Shut up!" Ye Xin replied to him angrily, his tone cold.

Lin Xiao ignored her little emotions and said, "You turn around and look behind you." ”

This time, Ye Xin heard the strange tone in Lin Xiao's words, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, so he turned his head to take a look, and couldn't help but be stunned in place - I saw that the white mist that permeated the forest was dyed with a strange red at some point, like a wisp of blood dyed on a pure white veil like snow, bright and dazzling.

Lin Xiao didn't come to his senses for a long time, watching the wisps of red gradually spread, dyeing the surrounding circles of white mist into red mist, and then said in a daze: "This is ...... The formation has mutated?" When he finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xin beside him, but what he got was an even more dazed expression than him.

The surrounding mist was all the color of blood, and the red patches made people's eyes hurt, and Lin Xiao and Ye Xin involuntarily closed their eyes or turned their gaze to the ground. I only heard the sound of the urn of the defender coming from the red mist, but this time it was no longer that gloomy tone, but it revealed a little bit of anger: "What person...... What are you doing...... Ahh

After a few screams, there was silence in the fog for a moment, and then the fog began to slowly dissipate. Lin Xiao's "Heaven and Earth Net" had not yet been completely put away, and at this time, he had already felt the retreat of the aura around him, and he opened his eyes; at the same time, the red dust sword in his hand suddenly flew out of his hand and burrowed into the mist that had not yet dissipated.

Ye Xin also opened his eyes, frowned and observed the changes around him, and said puzzledly: "This formation...... Is it broken?How can this be?!"

"Don't ask me. Lin Xiao touched her with his elbow, and Ye Xin turned around and saw his expression that seemed to be smiling, "If you want to know the specific situation, you have to ask that sister!"

Ye Xin followed his gaze, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

The fog in the forest almost dissipated, and I saw that the defender who was dressed in white and wearing a mask of impermanence was already lying unconscious on the ground at this time. There was a woman in red clothes and a red dress standing beside him, holding the long knife of the defender in one hand and the red dust sword that had just been summoned from Lin Xiao's hand in the other, making comparisons.

The woman in red seemed to feel Lin Xiao and Ye Xin's gaze at her, so she turned her head and winked at them, smiling brightly: "How is it?

Lin Xiao scolded with a smile: "I miss your sister!

Hongchen happily accepted Lin Xiao's different "compliment", and smiled slightly: "Well, it seems that you still miss me!"
